[Elecraft] Getting into CW and WOW! Praise for the KX2

[Steve Anness]

Recently I decided after almost 19 years in ham radio I would finally do
what it takes to become a CW operator.  After about 10 days of re-learning
the code and also spending a fair amount of time with sending practice
using both my dad's old Radio Shack Straight Key (Ameco look alike) and my
MFJ-564 using the practice feature on the Elecraft KX2, I made my first CW
contact today with Steve WB2WIK in California.

Obviously KX2 was designed by people who love CW and the history of the
Elecraft radios has been about really good CW rigs.  In general I am still
really impressed with how wonderful the CW signals sound, I am listening to
K7M right now on 20 meters running in the 7QP, using the default 500Hz B/W
and it just amazes me how good the signals sound on this tiny little rig.

So I am not saying anything that anyone on this reflector doesn't already
know but wanted to share my story and spread some praise.  Keep it up
Elecraft!
